Hi,

when I start working on my new project which is about managing Linux Server for web hosting requirements, Everyone near me is excited and they have very little idea about how to do this. Even I was wondering how can this be done as I am on of two members in our team working on this project.

Yes because of me I was wondering as I never work on Linux machine before. I am what my friend Sandeep (other team member in this project as well) called “windows Chela” (Windows Follower). With my all experince on windows and Microsoft technology, he too in surprise why I am with him for this project. But this is what maybe makes me different from other programmer around me.

Anyways, my company feels I can handle it, so I take it. Its that simple. When I first look into deep about linux and have two three meeting with Linux Administrator, I get the idea on how i will proceed towards this project. I pick what exactly Linux person does and how they handle the Problems in Linux. I observed three personnel for this.

All are same, Steps they follows are:

1) Read the Books on Basic Linux
2) Read online manual of software you are using
3) Just follow the steps in someone blogs or manuals
4) Run ./configure, make clean, make , make install these four commands and “Yeppy” you are the winner. I mean you install a software and use it…

So you get my point I still wonder why I am in team..:o)
Please tell me why ????
